PRE-GAME [Round 20, 2024] Broncos vs Knights

[Waynesaurus]

I'm probably only expecting Payne to back to up.

Reece looked pretty banged up - ankle/shoulder/back.
Patty worked himself to a standstill
Cobbo doesn't seem to have the stamina to back up for games week after week let alone two in the space of less than a week.

Cobbo doesn't seem to have the stamina to back up for games week after week let alone two in the space of less than a week.

Cobbo's fitness is becoming a real concern. He has been running like a slug this season. In past times he would be contesting the kick after a kick chase like we saw him get penalized for, not tackling the bloke in the air after he has possession because he got there too late.

 

[broncsgoat]

Do we think Reece will miss out on Saturday due to suspension? He doesn’t look 100% out there either

Does he still play for us?

 

[broncsgoat]

Play all of them for 80… they’re our best players and our season is fucked….


I’d play them twice if it was possible

 

[Brocko]

We should pay Hodges just to work with Cobbo full time.

With his size and speed, he should never be going out and should make us more yards.

Be good to see him do the Hodges scoot from dummy half from time to time.

Imagine having to employ a specialist coach to teach one of the most physically gifted outside backs of all time how to keep their body height low and away from the sideline

 

[xilliun]

They'll have to back up. Too critical a point in the season to rest players, even with the risk of injury. 80% of Payne and Patty is better than what Kobe is offering this year.

8 - Haas
10 - Willison
13 - Patty
14 - whoever
15 - Taupau
16 - Jensen
17 - Hetherington

Some talk of Walsh being on report but I don't think there's much in it on first glance.
Cobbo probably alright. Extra running at Wing for the first time this year probably emptied the tank. Gagai and Hammer looked totally spent in comparison.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Since we have room to be experimental now since the situation is dire, we need one of Haas or Carrigan starting on the bench and the two of them being cycled, at least for the remainder of the year. We just cannot afford gambling on playing them both at once when we're this lacking in depth. The bench fucking sucks, and it is costing us games. I dread the moment they both go off right now.

Evidently it seems necessary

Well whatever coaching he is getting now isn't helping him learn that is it

Hass and Carrigan can play 30min off the bench.

 

[Mustafur]

I think Walsh probably needs a rest for his shoulder, Cobbo to Fullback.

Jensen and Willison start Carrigan and Haas off the bench.

 

[Sproj]

everybody but walsh should back up. patty off the bench with reduced minutes. Kev is finished otherwise.

No he's not

 

[Brett Da Man LeMan]

Looking forward to Haas running the ball back with the same aggression and multiple offloads for the broncs this Saturday that he's shown he's capable of in game 3 tonight.

Nope, he’ll save himself

 

[winslow_wong]

There’s no way you offer walsh big money based on the season he’s had. He’s only a part time bronco at the moment.

 

[Spike]

1. Cobbo

Welsh looks broken

 

[Fatboy]

He won’t. We get the club version of Hass. Meek and passive.
